If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

When stacking dragon kites or large diamonds I like to put 10-15 feet of line between them. Linking them can be a pain depending on how they are framed and bridled. Most of the time I'll put my top one as the anchor of a main line set to fly as high as possible and use 5-10 feet of line set 10-15 feet apart on the main line to hook the others too and set them at different AOA's to fly at different angles. THe one with the most lift for the wind should be the top though. ITs been a while since I did a dragon chain but I would stack the 55 on top followed by the 35 and 25 on bottom. IF they have a cross spreader and spine instead of just a outer "u" bent rod then a pig tail looped around the spine and spreader will work best as a link.

Ca Ike, these have a center spar running head to toe for bridle attachment. I thought having them go from 55-35-25 made sense considering the smaller ones fly higher in a given wind and the stronger spars would support the pull of the smaller ones on top...

You can stack either way depending on the kite. Smaller ones on top tend to get hidden by the bigger ones IMO. You'll have to experiment with those but a single link on that center spar about 30% from the top should work ok.

i have a stack of small dragons they are opies by new tech i have 45 of them and they dance so nicely but let me tell it pulls like a truck put them up first time in 4mph by end of day 15mph needed three people to take it in but man is it a show stopper everyone loves them

They flew very well with the lead kite doing a nice dance that kept the line moving. I expect the smaller dragon was getting some turbulence from the larger kites downline and that kept it moving. It was a sweet ride.
